November Fiddle Club Session

We had a great and lively session with the Potomac Valley Scottish Fiddle Club. Most of those who came for the workshop and stayed for dinner joined us for the session. As usual, the dominant instrument was fiddle, but we had hammered dulcimer, guitar, bodhran, Celtic cittern, and electronic bagpipes added to the mix as well.

The tunes played were a good selection of the tunes popular among fiddle club regulars. As usual, it was very heavy on the reels, but we had a few other tunes tossed in as well.

Here's a complete tune list, and PVSFC source for each of the tunes:
